Why Should You Conduct Performance Reviews?

Managers often complain that one of the most uncomfortable things they do is meet with employees for the annual performance review. Managers hate it. Employees hate it. It is treated as an annual ‘rite of passage’ or a ‘necessary evil’ instead of a valuable tool. So, WHY do we do Performance Reviews?

Here are six strong reasons:

1. Improve the relationship between a manager and subordinate
2. Help an employee better understand their job responsibilities
3. Align employee behavior with the company’s goals
4. Establish a strong culture of coaching and development
5. Determine the basis for compensation changes
6. Guide organizational changes such as promotions or reassignments

These may not all apply to you, but I bet at least one does. Your WHY might be different than the WHY at other companies and that’s ok. What’s important is to design your performance management process based on what you’re trying to accomplish.
